Abstract
Teachers and students were asked to evaluate a variety of mediated instruction and facilities. The students were asked to base their responses upon their own elementary, junior high and senior high experiences. It was found that although some students preferred mediated instruction and facilities others did not. It was also seen that while many students had been relatively favorable towards mediated instruction and facilities during their elementary school years, they began to view them less favorably by the time they entered senior high school. In a second questionnaire, the "Quantification II" approach was used to identify factors contributing to the respondents' evaluations. The results clearly revealed that student preferences in relation to mediated instruction and facilities are highly dependent upon their personal interests and backgrounds (e. g., sex and course in which enrolled). It is suggested that these personal variables are important relative to the methods with which mediated instruction and facilities are employed.
